  For lack of a better explanation, I heard that Amazon picked their initial neighborhoods by how likely they were to spend $$ on the service. It might explain how Greenlake Prime customers beat us to the punch, their may be a lot of customers.
  
  Now, I thought that with a baby in the house for the past 10 months I single handedly increased Amazons stock price, but I guess not.
  
  I am looking forward to Amazon Fresh coming here (I have friends in QA that use it) but I am just as happy going to Ballard Market or one of our other local businesses/

  Damn them!!!!

  explain why one would want to join? i have no clue to this and it sounds like a modified Whole Foods on wheels.....

  Thank goodness. It only took two years' worth of requests to get this Amazon Fresh in this ZIP. Especially considering the possible closure of Ken's and the nasty corporate Republication Party contributions that have driven me away from Safeway, the timing could not be better. I guess this could help me reduce my carbon footprint or some of that hippie garbage, too.

  I am with Kim here. What is it that I am missing. You don't have to go shopping? They bring it to you. Is there something else here I am not getting? Bongo

  I would much rather take the dog for an extra walk or spend more time with the kids then going to the store..what a time saver to get delivery and in the long run I spend less..always seems more ends up in the cart when I'm out shopping.

  What Steve said, basically. There are a couple of benefits to having groceries delivered. One is the time savings, and the other is that you don't do as much impulse shopping.
  
  Back when we had Home Grocer service, it was great -- I had a default weekly list set up, and each week I would just log in, go over the list, add a few things if necessarily, and plan out menus at the same time, then the next morning the food would arrive. I spent a lot less that way than I do at the actual grocery store, and never forgot the important stuff (which I always do when I'm shopping at the real store).
  
  Amazon is located on Beacon Hill, where I live, but they won't offer us Amazon Fresh. You are lucky. I miss Home Grocer a lot and would use Amazon Fresh in a second if we could. (Safeway will deliver to us but I was very unhappy with them when I tried to use their service.)

  and by "if necessarily" I meant "if necessary", darn it.

  Sure! sign me up! I love my Amazon Kindle, and my Amazon Prime.
  
  C'mon Amazon! Bring fresh to 98117!

  Prices were more expensive than PCC in almost everything we looked up.
• Nubbee
  Id say we should try and get a PCC around here, but with Trader Joes opening next year and the Whole Foods being built, I'd be surprised. :(

  Out of curiosity, does anyone know whether there are carbon-footprint effects, positive or negative?

  Being a bus traveler and having a roomate for a bus travler we find Amazon Fresh amazing! We can walk to our local grocery store three blocks way, but carrying food for two people can sometimes be too much of a handful. We compare prices and decide what will be more cost effective, but if you order $50 or more worth in groceries the delivery is free! How can you beat that!
